Armor Frenzy - Chapter 1814
While the Battle of Duro Island was in full swing, the Allied forces in both the European and American directions continued to advance south.
Due to repeated ambushes by aliens, both the European coalition and the American army were much more cautious than before, and their speed was not as fast as before.
However, the slowness is only relative. No matter what time it is, the marching speed of the fully mechanized troops is not much slower, and all the enemy nests along the way will be destroyed!
Humans’ strategic nodes are cities, and aliens’ strategic nodes are nests. Whether humans or aliens, they are all based on points. No matter how large-scale field battles are, they are all appetizers to capture strategic nodes.
In mid-May, shortly after the Southeast Group advanced to Douro Island for the second time, the Western Front of the European Allied Forces successfully recaptured the Western European Plain and pushed the front to the French-Spanish border.
The Eastern Front also had a good front, successfully recaptured the Bode Plain, drove the enemy deep into the Alps, and pushed the front to the south bank of the Danube.
The terrain in the depths of the Alps is complex, which is not conducive to the deployment of mechanized troops. Therefore, the European coalition forces have no idea of entering the Alps for the time being. According to the plan, the European coalition forces are preparing to go south from the left and right sides of the Alps, and encircle the Alps with heavy troops. At the same time, they will capture the Apennine Peninsula and the Balkan Peninsula. , and wait until the time is right to catch all the enemies who have escaped into the mountains.
In the Americas, the American army gathered heavy troops on the east and west fronts, advancing step by step, constantly compressing the actual control line of the aliens, not only regaining the occupied territory of the American army, but also crossing the Mi-Mexico border in one breath and advancing the front into the territory of Mexico.
The North American continent is wide in the north and narrow in the south, and the location where it converges is precisely the Mi-Mexico border, that is to say, the density of Mi troops after crossing the border is unprecedented.
However, the more the army, the better. Franklin rationally asked most of the American troops to stand by and let only a quarter of the total troops participating in the war cross the border.
All in all, human military operations during this period achieved great success. Although there were some minor problems on the three fronts of Asia, Europe, and the United States, the flaws did not hide their shortcomings. Overall, humans still dominated.
It was also during this period that the confrontation between the enemy and us entered a new stage. To sum up, human beings were armored, giant insects were ammunition, and insects were marginalized.
But the aliens have never been reconciled to failure, and have been secretly brewing new counterattacks.
In the early morning of May 24, 2037, Northern Capital Time, in the middle of Duluo Island.
Qi Jingwen got out of the armored vehicle and found a random place to solve his personal problems.
As soon as he returned to the armored vehicle, he saw the correspondent hurried over and whispered, “Report, the latest order above!” With a wave of his finger, Qi Jingwen immediately received an encrypted file.
Qi Jingwen asked, “What did you say above?”
The correspondent opened the file and said in a low voice: “According to the report of the meteorological department, this year’s No. 1 tropical storm is approaching Duluo Island from the southeast. The center of the storm is expected to pass through Luzon and Duluo at around 15:00 this afternoon. Order us to seize the favorable opportunity when the storm is coming, and it is difficult for the flying light insects to take off to launch a general attack to resolutely and completely destroy the enemy!”
After Qi Jingwen heard this, he raised his head and looked at the sky. The clear sky last night had been obscured by low lead clouds. The dark clouds were so low that they could be touched by raising his hand, filling his heart with unspeakable depression: “Okay. Well, I got it!”
The correspondent turned to leave, Qi Jingwen returned to the command car, and wanted to communicate with the fleet: “Youzhou, Youzhou, please answer when you receive it!”
“Youzhou number received, please speak!”
“Youzhou, the order has been received, but our department consumes a lot of money and needs supplies urgently. Please send the supplies as soon as possible!”
“Youzhou understands that the convoy is approaching your department and is expected to arrive around nine o’clock!”
At the end of the communication, Qi Jingwen breathed a long sigh of relief, but he didn’t let it go. He secretly guessed whether the supply team could arrive on time.
At present, the landing troops have controlled most of the island of Douro, and pressed the remaining enemy to the south of Douro Island. According to the speed of advance during this period, it will only take a few days to completely control the entire island.
However, the landing troops moved too fast, and the combat troops in front were out of touch with the supply convoy. The remaining supplies in Qi Jingwen’s hand were just playing defense, and they had no ability to attack at all.
If the supplies could not be delivered on time, it would be impossible for Qi Jingwen’s troops to launch an attack on time.
Although Qi Jingwen had already kept the map of the whole island in his heart, but the decisive battle was imminent, he still found the map and carefully thought about how to fight this battle.
He is from the north and is not very familiar with tropical storms, but the sky is overcast like this, and the wind is getting stronger and stronger.
The mountains and forests on the island are high and dense, there are towering trees everywhere, and the armored vehicles are all 20 to 30 tons of iron lumps. No matter how strong the storm is, it is impossible to do anything to the troops. The problem now is supply. Complete the supply…
While thinking about it, the radar on the car suddenly sounded a beeping siren. As soon as Qi Jingwen looked up, he immediately saw several flickering light spots on the radar screen.
Before he could count how many targets the radar had found, the beeping sound suddenly became extremely rapid. There were only a few light spots on the screen a moment ago, and the next second, the dense light spots had taken up half of the screen!
Qi Jingwen’s eyes widened suddenly, and he lifted the top cover and got out of the car.
Beneath the lead cloud, a group of giant insects rose against the wind, flapping their wings and flying into the sky, a low humming sound came from a distance, as if a group of planes were passing by at a low altitude.
Qi Jingwen immediately retracted into the car and roared loudly on the radio: “The enemy attacked, fired smoke bombs, and fired laser cannons—”
With an order ~www.mtlnovel.com~ all armored vehicles immediately launched smoke bombs, and the smoke spread around the camp, quickly covering a large forest.
The twelve self-propelled laser anti-aircraft guns accompanying the team immediately started, and the gun pots aimed at the flying insects in the air. The lasers pierced the sky in an instant, and every laser flashed, a flying insect fell.
The light defense cannon is a new piece of equipment that was delivered to Douro Island a few days ago. It is equipped with a low-power laser cannon on the chassis of a light armored vehicle. It has a long range and a fast response speed. It is the most ideal field air defense weapon.
Since the beam can only be directed directly, this laser cannon is mainly used for air defense, of course, it can also shoot ground targets under suitable conditions.
Before the light-defense cannons were equipped, the landing troops could only move around the outskirts of Dolo Island, and could not escape the cover of the fleet in any case; after the light-defense cannons arrived on Dolo Island, the landing force immediately drove into the depths of Dolo Island.
Being able to capture more than half of Duluo Island in such a short period of time, the light defense artillery was indispensable.
But today is different from the past. The cloud layer is too low. The flying insects can rush into the dark cloud to hide with a few wings, using the cloud layer to cover themselves, and the cloud layer can block the laser, killing two birds with one stone!
